"A bough in the shade of your laurels..."

The last few weeks have been an utter whirlwind for me...From frantic last minute page renderings, to the maelstrom of convention-floor madness,... I've had my hands fairly full.

Things are just starting to settle down now, so I will now attempt to properly update this site with the appropriate content that was previously absent before my trip. This might take a bit of time with all the catch-up freelance crap I have to contend with... but I will endeavor to make the transition brief if I can.

In the meantime, here is a little 3 hour oil study I threw together before my trip to prove to myself that if I were ever again pushed into a corner by a demented Art Director,... I could still come up with a fairly representational figure painting on a crackpot deadline. Making the image file size small enough to read on the web totally killed the piece's luminosity and vibrancy as far as color goes... but the overall visual is still fairly represented...What think you?

(For the mythologically challenged... it's a slight visual variation on the Greek legend of Daphne and Apollo...)

Why are you anonymous, Cam? Did you ditch your blog?Anyway, Cam's right- he's the only one who can do Daphne from now on... Now we have to have a Kung Fu fight on your roof- that's Cam's orders, although I should call the shots since I'm the pimp... the whole world is crazy!

About Me

"Come to the edge", he said.
"We cannot", they said.
"Come to the edge", he said.
"We are afraid", they said.
"Come to the edge", he said.
They came.
He pushed them...
And they flew.... - Christopher Logue/Guillaume Apollinaire
